This review is from: Casca 01 Eternal (Paperback)

A while back a friend of mine mentioned something about a series of books following a man who is immortal, and this man was immortal because he was cursed to live forever by Christ as he was dying on the Cross. The man's name is Casca. Casca is a soldier of the Roman army around the time of Christ's death, sometime around 33 A.D. Casca is the soldier assigned to the mundane task of waiting for Jesus to die while he kept the small crowd around the Cross at bay. When told to finish the Jew off Casca stabs him in the side, just as the Bible tells it, but Jesus has a few words with Casca. The rest of Casca's life is then changed, and so the legend begins. Anyone interested in historical fiction and/or immortality should definitely read this book if not the entire series of 22 books spanning 2000 years.

In the Eternal Mercenary Casca life goes from soldier, to slave, to extreme popularity very quickly, but I don't want to give too much away. Read this book, the first in a long series of great stories about the man made to live until the return of the Jew. Until we meet again.

This review is from: Casca 01 Eternal (Paperback)

There's no doubt Barry Sadler had a real hit here when he first put pen to paper and created Casca, a character born out of a real man from the bible, and made him an immortal to travel through time forever fighting. I won't repeat the comments on other reviews, just look at the average star rating and judge for yourself. Brilliant, innovative, enthralling.

This review is from: Casca 01 Eternal (Paperback)

I picked up an old beat up copy of the first book from my father and read it while I was doing my 2 weeks training with the National Guard. The book got rotated around by everybody at night while pulling duty on radio watch. Needless to say, everyone finished it within a couple of nights and wanted more. I was disappointed to find out that the series was out of print and the author dead,but I looked around for used copies anyway. I was unable to find the series in any used book store, but finally managed to find them online in auctions. (This is what got me started in online autioning.) Anyways, I recommend to anyone looking, that you don't necessarily have to buy the whole set at once, becuase the bids usually got to high in those auctions. Instead, by sets with a number of volumes, and don't worry if you get the same one more than once, you can turn around and sell it on auctions and probably get what you paid. By the way, the newest book by the new author is now out. It is called Casca the Liberator.
